Wow as always great Whiteboard Friday Rand. I must say I was guilty of at least two on this list and just spent the last hours making changes on Entrepreneurrookie. The anxiety is a little tense not knowing exactly when Google will strike with this penalty or whether you as a site owner or webmaster missed something they'll see as over-optimization. These six steps are a great starting point, thanks a million.

Guys not to scare anyone from Pinterest, but I dug a little deeper today and found everything disturbing about their business model and legal terms of agreement. Like most users, I didn't read through the entire agreement until this afternoon. Seems they have some serious copyright infringement issues. A lawyer/photographer and Ex-Pinterest user posted this article on businessinsider.com last month warning users. http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-02-28/tech/31106641_1_repinning-copyright-entire-image

Its an addictive service for most women but here goes that nasty Copyright issue that evil SOPA Act was trying to kill us all with a couple months ago.

It's interesting you posted this today. I've been twisting and turning my head about what to like about Pinterest. I visited the site and was totally turned off by it from a regular male's perspective but totally fascinated by it from a marketer's standpoint. I wrote a post over at EntrepreneurRookie about it this morning and in my research, I found the one thing everyone first notices, It's overwhelmingly female, a good 80 - 90% female drive 85% of the site activity, and what mainly keep them addicted are images related to crafts (Etsy users are all over it), fashion, food, and health and beauty stuff.

In fact a study by the BlogHer website shows women trust Pinterest more than Twitter and Facebook in that order. 81% Pinterest, 73% Twitter, and 67% Facebook. That's such a quick turnaround. If you want to get noticed on Pinterest target those women. If your site or client's site is relevant to them, create an appealing "instructographic" as Colby dubbed it, or an image related to any of the categories above and hopefully you should be showered with traffic.
